Each year, the University of Redlands chapter of the Mortar Board National College Senior Honor Society facilitates the Professor of the Year events. Mortar Board collects student nominations and hosts a wine and cheese reception in honor of the top five nominees. A high table dinner is then held later in the year in honor of the receiving professor, this year to be held on Tuesday, March 3, 2015 at 5:30 p.m. in the Casa Loma Room.
